About this map

The Yukon River dominates this interior landscape, carving a wide path through the Yukon-Koyukuk region as it flows past the distinctive bluff at Eightmile Point. The river’s shifting nature is evident in the presence of Little Eightmile Island and Big Eightmile Island, which divide the main channel. To the east, the Khotol River meanders through lower terrain, creating a complex network of braids and side channels characteristic of this subarctic floodplain. Steep elevations rise sharply to the west near Lears Point, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying river valleys where water and land constantly redefine one another. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the region's two major waterways and the high-ground landmarks that have likely served as navigational waypoints for generations.
